How to get the POSIX path of a display profile under 10.6?

Hi forum,
I'm currently struggling with an AppleScript that returns the POSIX path of the profile of the 1st display just fine when run under OS X 10.4.11. But under 10.6, I can't seem to get it to work, it raises 'syntax error: Expected “,” but found identifier'.
tell app "ColorSyncScripting"
set prof to location of (display profile of display 1)
try
POSIX path of prof
end try
end tell
(I should probably mention that I try to run the actual script from the commandline using osascript - ie. `osascript -e 'tell app "ColorSyncScripting"' -e 'set prof to location of (display profile of display 1)' -e 'try' -e 'POSIX path of prof' -e 'end try' -e 'end tell'`)
Any suggestions are appreciated.

The ColorSync scripting extension relied on FSSpecs and was not 64-bit compatible. Apple dropped it entirely, along with huge chunks of the ColorSync API for which there are currently no publicly documented replacements. You'll have to do it in C.

How to get the current path of my application in java ?

how to get the current path of my application in java ?
thanks

To get the path where your application has been installed you have to do the following:
have a class called "what_ever" in the folder.
then you do a litte:
String path=
what_ever.class.getRessource("what_ever.class").toString()
That get you a string like:
file:/C:/Program Files/Cool_program/what_ever.class
Then you process the result a little to remove anything you don't want:
path=path.substring(path.indexOf('/')+1),path.lastIndexOf('/'))
//Might be a little error here but you should find out //quickly if it's the case
And here you go, you have a nice
C:/Program Files/Cool_program
which is the path to your application.
Hooray

How to get the absolute path of logicalhost server domain on Windows?

My logicalhost server domain behaves strangely. I am reading a file from collaboration definiton, that is located in the logicalhost/is/domains/domain1/config folder. I thought, that this folder is used as an application root folder so I can read files like ./file from there. And it worked.
But then I've installed the domain as a Windows service, restarted the PC. When the domain1 gets started, I get exceptions saying that the file can't be found. Then I restart the domain (in domainmgr.bat) and it works again.
I am pretty sure that using the absolute path will solve this issue, so my first question is: How to get the absolute path of logicalhost server domain on Windows?
And my second question is: Why does this happen?

The default folder for a Windows Service is the system32 folder contrary to the instance root folder when starting it as a normal process.
That's the why, haven't tried the how, but you should be able to get the value by calling System.getProperty("com.sun.aas.instanceRoot").
Hope this helps

How to get the full path instead of just the file name, in �FileChooser� ?

In the FileChooserDemo example :
In the statement : log.append("Saving: " + file.getName() + "." + newline);
�file.getName()� returns the �file name�.
My question is : How to get the full path instead of just the file name,
e.g. C:/xdirectory/ydirectory/abc.gif instead of just abc.gif
import java.io.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.filechooser.*;
public class FileChooserDemo extends JFrame {
static private final String newline = "\n";
public FileChooserDemo() {
super("FileChooserDemo");
//Create the log first, because the action listeners
//need to refer to it.
final JTextArea log = new JTextArea(5,20);
log.setMargin(new Insets(5,5,5,5));
log.setEditable(false);
JScrollPane logScrollPane = new JScrollPane(log);
//Create a file chooser
final JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
//Create the open button
ImageIcon openIcon = new ImageIcon("images/open.gif");
JButton openButton = new JButton("Open a File...", openIcon);
openButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
int returnVal = fc.showOpenDialog(FileChooserDemo.this);
if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
File file = fc.getSelectedFile();
//this is where a real application would open the file.
log.append("Opening: " + file.getName() + "." + newline);
} else {
log.append("Open command cancelled by user." + newline);
//Create the save button
ImageIcon saveIcon = new ImageIcon("images/save.gif");
JButton saveButton = new JButton("Save a File...", saveIcon);
saveButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
int returnVal = fc.showSaveDialog(FileChooserDemo.this);
if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
File file = fc.getSelectedFile();
//this is where a real application would save the file.
log.append("Saving: " + file.getName() + "." + newline);
} else {
log.append("Save command cancelled by user." + newline);
//For layout purposes, put the buttons in a separate panel
JPanel buttonPanel = new JPanel();
buttonPanel.add(openButton);
buttonPanel.add(saveButton);
//Explicitly set the focus sequence.
openButton.setNextFocusableComponent(saveButton);
saveButton.setNextFocusableComponent(openButton);
//Add the buttons and the log to the frame
Container contentPane = getContentPane();
contentPane.add(buttonPanel, BorderLayout.NORTH);
contentPane.add(logScrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new FileChooserDemo();
frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
System.exit(0);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);

simply use file.getPath()
That should do it!Thank you !
It takes care of the problem !!

How to get the application path?

Does some body know how to get the application path in Java? Here is an example about what I'm thinking: Let's imagin the application is on "c:\try" or "c:\ProgramFiles\MyApp". My question is how can I find the path where the application is. Please give an example if you know the answer. Thank you so much.

Those two replies give you some useful directories, it's true, but maybe not what the OP asked. However the OP asked for something that doesn't have a meaning (applications don't have to be "on" any directory, whatever that might mean).
Would the OP like to describe what the actual problem is here?

How to get the file path in adf application

hii all,
i have a txt file that i am using in my adf application,
i am passing this txt file through a File Reader, for which i have to mention the file path.
The file is in web-content and when i am hard coding the complete file path i.e C:/JDeveloper/myApp/ViewController/public_html/log.txt
the application is working fine when run on integrated weblogic server.
My requirement is to access this file without giving the static file path, as in case i have to use this application on any other machine..
for that how to mention the file path-
i tried using FacesContext to get the context path :-
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestContextPath();
which gives me
\myApp-ViewController-context-root
after appending public_html\log.txt
I am using the following path to access the file :-
\myApp-ViewController-context-root\public_html\log.txt
again i am getting the java.io.FileNotFoundException
Does anyone know how to use file from inside the web-content without giving the complete path..???
Thanks

Hi,
If you put your file under public_html folder, you can use this code to access the file:
For example file is : log.txt
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRealPath('/log.txt').toString().trim();
Thanks.

How to get the full path of the fmx's directory.

Hi all,
I will ship my project to a customer. So I must install forms runtime at the customer's machine.
I put all of the fmx files of my project into a certain directory at the customer's machine, and I create a desktop shortcut of the forms runtime. In the "start in" field of the shortcut property I put the full path of the directory where I put the fmx files. And in the target field of the shortcut property I put after the ifrun60.exe the name of the fmx file which to call first.
Now , in one of my forms file I want to get the full path of this directory because I must call Ora_Ffi.Load_Library. And the library which I want to load resides on that directory.
So how to get programatically the directory where the fmx files reside.
I know that there is the registry entry FORMS60_PATH, but we plan to ship many projects to that customer; so if I use the FORMS60_PATH variable then there will be an error because there will be many directories. And the customer can launch many of the projects at the same time.
So how to get it.
Thank you very much indeed.

If you are using the d2kwutil library, then you can use the win_api_environment.Get_Working_Directory() function.
If not, I doubt that there is anyway to get it since the get_application_property(current_form) does not return the full path of the form as it used to in prior versions of Oracle forms such as 4.5.

How to get the Real Path of a file which is accessed by URL?

iam using tomcat6.0.
I have a file xyz.xml at the top of the webapplication HFUSE which i can able to access by URL
http://localhost:8080/HFUSE/xyz.xml
My problem is how to get the realpath of the file "xyz.xml" for reading and writing purposes.
I tried various things but i could not able to successfully solved the problem?
1) File f = new File("/xyz.xml");
print(f.getAbsolutePath()) ============== it is not fetching the file @ http://localhost:8080/HFUSE/xyz.xml rather it is creating a file
at the root of the drive where eclipse is running.
2) File f = new File("xyz.xml");============> this is also not working , it is creating the file xyz.xml in the eclipse directory ..................
Can anyone please guide on this problem?

RevertInIslam wrote:
If you want your context root(i.e HFUSE)
use this:
request.getContextPath() //where request is HttpServletRequest object to get the needful path.
e.g:
File f = new File(request.getContextPath()+"/xyz.xml");//it will create the file inside HFUSE.
Hope this helps.
Regards
BWrong. The File constructor expects an absolute filesystem path. The HttpServletRequest#getContextPath() doesn't return the absolute filesystem path, it only returns the relative path from the current context root. Use ServletContext#getRealPath() instead, it returns the absolute filesystem path for the given relative path from the current context root.
File file = new File(servletContext.getRealPath("/"), "xyz.xml");

How to get the file path from HTML input form in Firefox3

In IE7 (and probably all famous browsers, including old Firefox 2), if we submit a file like 'C:\folder1\folder2\folder3\filename' it works properly and gives the full path to the file and the filename.
In Firefox 3, it returns only 'filename', because of their new 'security feature' to truncate the path, as explained in Firefox bug tracking system (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143220)
I have no clue how to overcome this 'new feature'.
Can anyone help to find a single solution to get the file path both on Firefox 3 and IE7?
Thanks in advance....

Doubleposted and ignored any previous answer: [http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5342405]. Don't do that. It's rude.
Regarding to your "problem": why do you need the file path?
